We got the Thai hotpot broth (one of the best I've ever had), 2 types of beef and a ton of vegetables. The service was great. They even told us the broth we ordered was too much so they cut it down to half a pot and saved us money. The iced teas were delicious as well. We got the passionfruit green tea and matcha latte. Would definitely visit again. read more

A modern hotpot place with plenty of space and nice ipad order convenience! The staff is really nice and there were a ton of different options for broth, meats, etc. This not a AYCE place however. So the add-ins did feel slightly higher quality, but it did come at the price of the lack of infinite meats that you could include. This place is solid, but also feels a bit more expensive for what it is compared to other options in the area. I paid around $95 for 2 people if I remember correctly. I'm starting to feel that I messed up because I didn't come at a time when there were discounts which might entirely be my fault. I would consider coming here again if I had friends that really wanted to go! read more

Food - 8/10 Service - 9/10 Clean Bathroom Great spot for hotpot, the waitlist wasn't too long for a Saturday night and they have a good amount of seats in the waiting area plus snacks. The menu is on the ipad like most hotpot places with the sauce area right in the center. It is a little squished so it's hard for a lot of people to use at once. We got the spicy broth and the mushroom. The pot itself is a little too deep for my liking, making it inconvenient to grab at certain times especially when u r at the end of the table. I would not recommend the fish tofu here, it isn't good a little too firm and the napa was also hard to bite for some reason. But everything else was good with reasonable prices. read more

I went for a noodle soup rather than a hotpot. The soup was fairly spicy and the protein choice (chicken) was nicely flavored and tender. That said, I wish that some other other ingredients (like spam) were not there. The soup itself was super oily, which made it hard to eat. I look forward to trying the hotpot options though, which I believe is their specialty. (Every other table I witnessed went for the hotpot.) read more

We have been to this hotpot restaurant a couple times now and they always deliver great food! Their dining space is fairly big comparatively to other Boston restaurants, so seating is usually fast. Even during busy hours, the wait is short. The staff are attentive and very fast with service, running around to serve everyone on time! We have tried both a la carte and AYCE, and both options are great depending on how hungry you are. Their AYCE plates came pretty fast after ordering and includes most of their menu. I also really appreciate their delicious sauce bar and snacks for grabbing anytime! They have a great selection of broths as well, I enjoyed their tomyum and golden chicken options. Overall, I think this is absolutely one of the better hotpot places in Boston, and highly recommend to all that are in the area! read more

This place is soooo good! They have 4 vegetarian broth options which was amazing. We got the original spice level 3 and tom yum, with a lot of veggies. The broth was delicious, though I could have done with maybe spice level 1 or 2, 3 was way too spicy for me . They had great service and really nice seating. They also had a self service counter with peanut sauce, seasame seeds and other sauces if you wanted to add to your dishes. I would definetely go eat here again!! read more

I hadn't tried hot pot before I stepped in here with some friends. I'll have to give it a few more attempts before I can speak confidently to it. My friends who are Asian brought the persuasion to this Caucasian. The food was excellent, and I imagine would be something of a soup lover's paradise. It is hot ... really hot, so care must be taken here or you can get seriously burned. It was a bright and lively time, so I will need to return when the opportunity arises. read more

This is a great place to go for hot pot on a cold day. The broths were nice and flavorful and all of the items we ordered were very fresh. The service was friendly and attentive. I don't think this place beats all of the other hot pot places in Boston, but it's definitely worth a visit! read more

Came here for valentines day as it's one of the very few hot pot restaurants where you can make a reservation. Food came out in less than 5 min after ordering on the ipad. Everything was delicious and the service was great. We even got a brown sugar rice cake dessert for free. Ambiance is really nice; I feel it's pretty spacious but fills up quick during dinner time. We got prime ribeye, short rib for the meat, signature shrimp paste, napa cabbage, and watercress, fish tofu, half herbal broth half tom yum broth, side of egg fried rice, hand pulled noodles. Super satisfied and we were stuffed. I also got the lime wamama drink which was like a yogurt drink and it was great to wash down all the saltiness. Also lots of snacks and even a mung bean dessert at the sauce bar. If you pay in cash you get a 10% discount read more

ncredible Hotpot Experience! Shu Da Xia Hotpot is hands down one of the best hotpot experiences I've had! From the moment you step in, the atmosphere is immersive, with beautiful decor that transports you straight to Chengdu. The staff is incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure everything is perfect throughout the meal. The broth selection is top-tier--rich, flavorful, and packed with depth. Whether you go for the classic spicy Sichuan broth or a mild option, every sip is an explosion of authentic flavors. The ingredients are fresh, high-quality, and abundant, with a great variety of meats, seafood, and veggies. The handmade shrimp paste and house-made sauces are must-tries! What truly sets this place apart is the attention to detail, from the presentation to the little extras like traditional performances and complimentary snacks. It's a fantastic spot for a fun gathering with friends or a unique dining experience. Highly recommend Shu Da Xia Hotpot! Can't wait to come back for another round. You can tweak it based on your personal experience! Let me know if you want to highlight anything specific. read more

Excellent hot pot here! Probably my second fav place in Boston, but only because it's a bit more expensive than my number one. On the plus side, it's less busy; maybe cleaner too. The meat and veg tasted fresh, the sauce bar is great, and the broths we tried hit the spot. Their medium spicy broth is actually not terribly spicy, which was surprising to me! All-in-all, will definitely be back -- especially if we're looking for a less chaotic, quality soup experience! read more

Came in before its busy time, and I had great time here! I like the broths and, everything looks so fresh. Service was amazing, the moment you enter the restaurant, the whole staffs greeted you in Chinese very loudly and friendly. You get to make your own sauces at the station. Our bill was $320 for 6, not bad for hotpot, since hotpot is pretty pricey nowadays. They offer coat hanging service, so your jackets/coats will not smelled like hotpot once you finish the meal. The staffs are well trained and friendly. They saw my group were trying to take a selfie, so they offered to take one for us. Our table was well taken care of. Will come back! read more

This is my favorite hot pot place around. It's the first U.S. location and doing a great job promoting the brand. The food is great, nice variety and lunch special option. The broths are amazing. I usually get half tomato and the others have alternating spicy. As usual smells are strong so if you're going in the winter, there is a bag in your cart that you can put your jacket in so it does not absorb everything. read more

The flavor is amazing, especially the spicy hot pot base, it reminds me the flavor and smell back in my hometown Chongqing. The whole store is clean and nice too. read more

Good place for a group gathering. We called ahead for a table of 12. Good soup base. One can order a split pot with double flavor soup base, 1/2 non-spicy chicken soup and 1/2 signature spicy soup. Boil the meat, seafood, vegetables dishes in the soup and eat! Afterward, one can also drink the yummy soup! Attentive service! They add more soup base, refilled water, and brought more napkins without us asking! Items were brought relatively quick. The place is clean and nicely decorated! read more

A nice hotpot place on Comm Ave at BU's East campus right next to one of the science buildings. This place replaced another restaurant and I'm excited that I finally got the chance to try it. I came here on a Sunday morning right when they opened up and we were able to get seated at a table right away. The server gave us the iPad to order food and we ordered the beef/pork combo, fish balls, shrimp paste, napa, mushroom platter, watercress and noodles. The sauce bar and appetizers are an additional $3 per person, which we also added on. Everything came out fresh and we got the mild spicy broth and a mushroom broth. I'm glad we ordered mild because the spice level was tolerable and you were able to get the spicy kick flavor without the burning pain of your mouth. I grabbed some edamame and peanuts from the bar for additional flavors and textures to the meal. Overall, it was a pretty filling meal for 2 people and the restaurant was full when we left. A nice spot to checkout this winter in you're in the area! read more

Hot pot is my favorite type of food, and I'm on a mission to try all hot pot restaurants in the Boston area. So far, Shu Daxia is my favorite! It's a pretty spacious restaurant and is walk-in only. You can join the waitlist in advance, like we joined the waitlist from yelp's link and ubered over in time. Staff is generally nice. The deco is probably the cutest I've seen, for hot pot. The tables for two are a bit uncomfortable - you don't have much foot space. Food - the mushroom broth (with spicy heat level) is my new go-to broth. Very mushroom-y taste, with enoki & shiitake mushrooms already in the broth. The sichuan was very spicy, but really oily. They generally always are, no matter where you go. Loved the sauce station. And for hot pot ingredients, the signature beef slices that you dip in milk are top notch. The veggie combo is the perfect amount of veggies for 2 people. We also got the fish filets, wide rice noodles and hand cut ramen noodles. They also have a cool soda selection that I plan to try next time (apricot soda??!!). I would give them 5 stars but the foot space was uncomfortable and I was also craving beef tendon which they didn't have on the menu. Pricing was pretty standard, it came to about $45 per person. read more

I came with a group of 8, and when I called ahead to make a reservation the lady was very friendly and helpful for us (I wasn't able to do so online). We got there just around 6pm on a weekday, and while it was definitely filling up, there were still plenty of tables empty. (When we left, though, the place was much busier and there were a handful of parties waiting to be seated.) Ordering is entirely via QR code which has a bit of an allure to it - it's very exciting to continually put in our orders of plates of meats and veggies and hear the "ding!" of the order being received in the back. Overall, a quite good meal - meats were tasty (we really liked the prime ribeye and the fatty beef), and they had a pretty wide selection of fresh vegetables, mushrooms, fishballs, etc. Very satisfied with both the quality and the quantity of all the portions. Word of warning though - the mala broth is *really* spicy. We ordered the lowest level (mild) but still found our mouths burning early on in the meal. It is a bit pricey, especially if you come with a smaller group as I can imagine, but worthwhile in my opinion. I think Boston does not have the most plentiful selection of Chinese hot pot restaurants, so I'm glad that I can count Shu Da Xia as a top choice in the future. Also, they are bigger than the likes of Liuyishou and I don't think I saw a queue form during our meal, which is a big plus in my opinion - it's never a great feeling when I'm craving hotpot to show up to a 2 hour wait time :) read more

Today was my first time trying Shu Daxia hotpot and it was a great experience! I love hotpot and have tried almost all of the places in Boston. I know that Shu Daxia is newer and I had not heard many things about it but decided to give it a go today. I love going to Chinese hotpot for the extremely spicy Szechuan broth and was happy to hear that that even their mild broth is very spicy. I got the signature spicy broth which you can choose the spice level (extra mild, mild, spicy, extra spicy, and even more spicy for $2 more). I got spicy and it was the perfect amount of spice; a little tingly in your mouth but not painful to eat. The one thing about the broth was it had a hint of lamb flavor (at least to me) which I personally don't love but it wasn't enough to deter me. I ordered the fatty beef, beef ribeye, knife shaved noodles, bok choy, and tofu puff. Both cuts of beef were delicious but I prefer the fatty beef because it had more flavor to me. The bok choy was huge but very fresh. Tofu puff was great but the star of the show was the knife shaved noodles. They were dried when served but once cooked they tasted like they were freshly made. The noodles were amazing texture and I would come back just for the noodles because not many hot pot places have noodles this unique and fresh tasting. On top of the food, the sauce bar (which is an additional $3) is a necessity and had everything I look for in a sauce. I like how their sauce bar had other snacks like orange slices, nuts, some seaweed side dish, dried pea snacks, rice crackers, and the melon candies. You order everything on an iPad which was very easy to use and straightforward. The service was quick and attentive and I overall had a great experience. I have high standards for hotpot and Shu Daxia definitely exceeded my standards. I will for sure be returning! read more

Similar to Liuyishou in Chinatown, very focused on presentation, quality, ambiance and service. When you first enter, they shout a welcome to you as a group. We went on a weeknight so no reservations req'd or anything, they just sat us down. Pros: - Deep seating for the hotpot so it is at table level when put in so you don't have to peek over or strain to reach over pot - Mini vent set right around the hotpot to suck up the smells, it doesn't get everything but still a great idea and at least 50% isn't getting on your clothes - Presentation of each meat dish if phenomenal along with the quality (I recommend the fatty beef to get the gram of dry ice vapors. - Cool cocktails menu Cons: - $3 dollar pp charge for sauce station (although that is probably due to the above average sauce variety you get that otherwise would be complimentary) - Very pricey Parking is street level and very hard since you're right in BU and in front of the Questrom School. On the plus side, green line stops right in front. Overall, more like a special occasion or date night venue. read more

I went here with 3 friends last night and it was absolutely amazing. We walked in on the later side, around 9:00 pm (they close at 10:30) & we were still sat right away with amazing customer service. Everyone we interacted with on the staff was so nice & helpful. I loved ordering from the iPad as well as the little sauce bar they had set up! Everything was extremely clean as well!! The signature hot is very hot but they left an entire pitcher of ice water with us. I have to say I really loved it here and it was so fun. read more
